Tim's best friend from high school got married a few weekends ago. He is based in New Jersey and the wedding was taking place in NYC. It was kind of a whirlwind planning and Tim has had a huge project going on at work, so we were not positive that he would even be able to go. I mean, the wedding was days before his cutover, the high point of the project. Somehow, the gods came together and we got the opportunity for a quick weekend jaunt. We flew in Friday after work and it was non stop from there. Friday night we hit a Korean diner (horrible food, but made a funny experience) and then the guys headed off to a night of pre wedding gaming. I was so excited for Tim to get to do this with his guys, not too mention my night alone just relaxing in the hotel bed = perfect for both of us!
Saturday we had the whole day free so we decided to head into the city and do some touristy activities. Tim had of course done his research and decided the hop on/hop off bus was best for our time limits and all we wanted to see. Perfect plan! We got to relax, take a tour of the city while getting the education. We saw everything, except for any celebrity sightings – WTF! We didn't have the time to hop off at any sights, but it was good enough. Plus, I was able to make a list of what I would want to focus on in my next trip (and after my list… I'm thinking girl weekend getaway!) Saturday night was the welcoming dinner for the guest and family…. More Korean! And it was a lot of food! More than I could have ever ate… and I did find a few things I enjoyed in it.
Sunday we again had the whole day available so we headed out to more sighting seeing. We did the uptown tour on Saturday so we did the downtown tour on Sunday…… again, perfect for us. We had some extra time to kill after it was done, so we hit the top stores my guy would love – FAO Schwartz and the Apple Store, of course. Grabbed some food truck food and then it was time to head back and get ready for the wedding. I was at my breaking point for the day by then too. Between the heat and the people, I needed to relax some.
Final night – Wedding time! It was a really cool experience. They also did a Korean ceremony, in addition to a classic…. Very cool to see and be a part of it. Interesting too. Their wedding was fun and so touching. Here's what I can say weddings do to me now. Cry. I have never ever been that girl…. But now, when I see a couple in love as much as I am… it's really gets me. I crying out of happiness that they are getting to have the same experience I am in love. When you find that someone, you want others to be just as happy as you are. #sappykelly over. …. There was definitely some dancing that night going on and we had fun watching that. But, since we are old cruds, we ended up moving to the lobby area and hanging out, more guy catch up time. OH and of course, the buffet… Korean! It's been a month and I'm still happy to not have seen Korean food since then. Also, with that style… they don't have just regular old beer. It was Korean beer… not bad, but hard to know what to get. And only Chardonnay, so I ended up drinking a couple bottles of
champs. Oops. That made for an interesting flight home… I felt awful! But, that was also part we only had a few hours sleep before we head to grab the 9am flight. All in all, great weekend. Most of all, I love my husbands friends so much. They are hilarious and we had so much fun. I def wish my Timmy got to see these guys more often. #goals
